Baker v. Nelson

Baker v. Nelson was a 15 October 1971 Minnesota Supreme Court decision that stated that the refusal to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples did not violate the US Constitution. Gay couple Jack Baker and Mike McConnell appealed the ruling, but it was dismissed by the US Supreme Court on 10 October 1972. On 26 June 2015, Obergefell v. Hodges overturned Baker v. Nelson and legalized same-sex marriage across the United States.
